Check in was awful, the girl working has no customer service skills whatsoever. Then We got to our room and it wasn’t ready yet (already half an hour past check in), struggled to rectify it, in fact the head of cleaning Sandra was the most helpful. We also got a room beside the elevator when I’d specifically asked not, and the hotel was not full either. Not a good start. The room was nice, but dirty. Dust and debris on shelves and the floor, definitely due for a deep clean. The bed and pillows were comfortable as was the tony balcony.

Mixed feelingw

Loved the spa and swimming facilities, lovely atmosphere and nice and clean. Good restaurant with great breakfast, excellent quality. The room was the only thing that let the stay down. The air con didn’t work, the balcony was tiny and very old, the bathroom looked very poorly finished and the shower tray was a little mouldy. I paid extra to have a canal view room and it really wasn’t worth it.

Pure relaxation accommodation

Really nice chilled out environment, Really helpful staff, very relaxing with excellent spa treatments onsite if required or just relax with ambient atmosphere when using the swimming pool, sauna, steam, hydrotherapy area's giving it a pure chilled vibe to unwind, we booked an executive room with a canal view, just watching the barge boats go past whilst having a beer next to the water it was a very good & relaxed atmosphere, we would definitely be returning to the hotel/spa we had excellent weather that made our trip even better after a day of canoeing over the tallest Aqueduct.

Stained bedding, not impressed!

Bedding in room had blood stains and spots on all pillows and duvet, we had to request a complete bedding change, even the housekeeping manager was shocked. The carpet in the room had not been vacuumed, which again we had to request, the fittings were grubby and old, and the bathroom door would not shut so no privacy there! The balcony was not in great condition and the curtain fell down every time we touched the balcony door. Whole room generally needed doing up. Photos won’t upload but are available of the hotel are interested?

Great stay and use of the spa for free was amazing. Surprised/disappointed by how much the drinks were in the bar. Eg £16 glass of wine. But nice stay none the less. No air con in rooms but felt quite cool anyway

Hotel building, grounds are beautiful and spa is incredible, but rooms are dated and noisy. I was on the ground floor and you can hear noise all outside of the bar /restaurant area. The net curtains on the windows were stained, there was a dirty food stain on the wall near the table, and the wardrobe paint is flaking off. Poor/no soundproofing I could hear all neighbours, and was woken up by external noise at 5:50am. TV didn't work ,only showed radio stations. Food in restaurant was very good, and bar staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast food was basic- one type of sliced bread, basic pastries etc. Hot breakfast food was not hot as it is simply kept in ceramic pots on hot rings, so all of the "hot" food is lukewarm. Luckily I stayed on business, as I would not be happy paying £150 for 1 night here.

Had a spa weekend and dinner booked. There was a whole host of issues with our stay. - started the day at the spa where we were all booked in for treatments. 2 out of the 4 of us didn’t get the treatment we’d booked. - after the treatments we wanted to use the pool and other facilities but the doors to the steam room and sauna were broken so couldn’t use them. - After the spa we went into the spa cafe. No one else was in the cafe, but the service was incredibly slow just for the 4 of us. Then my friend asked for a glass of water, and was told NO with no further explanation. - We then went to check in. We had booked the hotel well in advance, and had made a request that our two rooms we’d booked were close to each other. When we checked in, we were on different floors. There was a broken mirror in the bathroom. -Went for dinner to find that the ‘kitchen was having some problems’ and that there were only 2 main dishes available from the whole menu. Was advised that it wasn’t likely to be sorted, so when we asked should we find somewhere else to eat, was told that we probably should. So we left the hotel and went somewhere else for dinner. - Went back to the hotel and couldn't sleep as the rooms were so warm. There looked to be an AC unit, but it wouldn’t work. The rooms were also very noisy. Overall, we found the staff to be fairly unhelpful, and inexperienced. And the hotel was dated and in need of some TLC.
